Technical Abstract

A display driving circuit has a scan switch, an assistant unit, several storage switches, and several storage units. The scan switch couples to a data line. The assistant unit couples to the scan switch. The storage switches couple to the assistant unit. Each storage unit couples to the assistant unit by one of the storage switches. The assistant unit is shared by the storage units to compensate for several driving voltages or several driving currents of the storage units.
